@grainloom I've been meaning to explore XMPP more, it seems like it could be a cool libre alternative to slack/discord given the right client (I have my own gripes with IRC and matrix)
@dukhovni @grainloom Id be curious about your gripes with Matrix, as I'm actively trying my best to improve that platform
@dukhovni @grainloom yeah, sadly the only useable homeserver implementation is quite heavy still.
Riot has come a long way since though, with their 1.0 release and gui redesign it became a lot nicer to use, and alternative native and web clients (like mine, Neo) are also starting to become viable for useage
